I've always gone the host file route for my users that work out of their home. But after reading this post it made me want to check the host files on my home users and guess what, they edited their host file and took out my entries. So I will be looking for something else for remote users using company owned equipment. I honestly didn't think they were smart enough to look in their host files.

You are blocking the website in the router as such www.facebook.com. If you use any browser and go to https://www.facebook.com you will land on the facebook home page and get around the block. Some browser automatically redirect known secure sites this way. Like facebook, gmail and other popular sites that you should always use the secure site. That is what some browsers are doing. URL blocking in this manner isn't any good. Content blocking or category blocking is best or blocking with DNS, like others have stated.
